ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for aligning and orienting an object has cooperating first and second rotatable arm members each having object holders, respectively. Object holders, each comprises a vacuum recess and alignment features for aligning the object in a fixed position in its respective vacuum recess. Rotation of first and second rotatable arm members about their respective pivot points from a fully extended configuration into abutting contact forms a partially closed vacuum chamber for securing an object. Partially closed vacuum chamber has a closed end for positioning the object, a first wall defined by the first vacuum recess, an opposing spaced apart second wall defined by the second vacuum recess and an open end between the first and second walls for receiving the object in the partially closed vacuum chamber.
